Label:Clocks were a luxury item in the Netherlands in the late eighteenth century and stands such as this one were used to transform portable pocket watches into decorative room clocks.

The sinuous form of the stand, and its elaborate decoration featuring naturalistic motifs, showcases the Rococo style favored in Europe during this period.
